Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, while vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and has a role in the process of cell division.

It also contains CoQ10, inositol and N-acetyl cysteine; these additional ingredients are described factually without attributing unauthorised fertility benefits to them.

Helpful Product Information
Quick Answer
Pregnacare Conception Max is Vitabiotics' advanced pre-conception formula for women trying for a baby. Take two tablets plus one omega-3 capsule daily with your main meal. Each daily serving provides 400µg folic acid as L-methylfolate, 15mg zinc, 25µg vitamin D3 and an omega-3 capsule providing 300mg DHA and 60mg EPA.
Common Questions
How long does one Pregnacare Conception Max 84 pack last?
Each pack contains 56 micronutrient tablets and 28 omega-3 capsules. Because the recommended daily serving is two tablets plus one capsule, an 84-count pack provides 28 days' supply.
Does Pregnacare Conception Max contain folic acid?
Yes. Two tablets provide 400µg folic acid as L-methylfolate. Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status, while folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and has a role in cell division.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Pregnacare Conception Max is a food supplement rather than a fertility medicine. It does not contain fertility drugs or hormones and should not be presented as increasing the likelihood of pregnancy or treating infertility. Vitabiotics describes it as a nutrient-based formula designed for women of child-bearing age.
Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. For this authorised risk-reduction claim, the beneficial effect is obtained with 400µg supplemental folic acid daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
Some women require a higher prescribed folic acid dose because of individual risk factors. If your GP has recommended or prescribed a higher dose, do not replace it with Pregnacare Conception Max without professional advice.
If you have been trying to conceive without success, or have concerns about menstrual cycles or reproductive health, appropriate medical assessment remains important.
Not Suitable For
Pregnacare Conception Max is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans because the omega-3 capsule contains fish oil and a bovine gelatin capsule shell.
Seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist before use if you:
- Are under medical supervision.
- Have epilepsy.
- Have a thyroid condition.
- Have haemochromatosis.
- Have a fish allergy or other relevant food allergy.
- Take anticoagulant medication.
- Take regular prescription medicines.
- Already take prescribed vitamins or minerals.
The manufacturer states that the product is made at a site that may handle nuts/peanuts and is not suitable for someone with a nut/peanut allergy.
How to Use
Take two Pregnacare Conception Max tablets plus one omega-3 capsule per day.
Take with your main meal and swallow with water or a cold drink.
Do not chew.
Take only on a full stomach.
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
There is no need to take an additional multivitamin alongside Pregnacare Conception Max.
Vitabiotics advises using the product when you start trying for a baby and states that it can be started up to three months beforehand. Once pregnancy is confirmed, remaining tablets/capsules may be finished before moving to a Pregnacare product formulated for use during pregnancy.

FAQs
1. What is Vitabiotics Pregnacare Conception Max?
Pregnacare Conception Max is a comprehensive pre-conception vitamin, mineral and omega-3 supplement for women trying for a baby. The pack combines micronutrient tablets with a separate high-purity fish-oil capsule. The daily serving provides 400µg folic acid as L-methylfolate, 15mg zinc, 25µg vitamin D3 and 300mg DHA alongside other nutrients.
2. When should I start taking Pregnacare Conception Max?
Vitabiotics advises taking Pregnacare Conception Max as soon as you start trying for a baby. It can also be started up to three months before you plan to begin trying. This is particularly relevant to folic acid because the authorised risk-reduction benefit requires 400µg supplemental folic acid daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
3. Does Pregnacare Conception Max improve fertility?
The product contains 15mg zinc per daily serving, and zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. However, Pregnacare Conception Max is a food supplement rather than a fertility medicine and should not be described as increasing pregnancy rates or treating infertility. Anyone experiencing difficulty conceiving should seek appropriate medical advice rather than relying on supplementation alone.
4. How much folic acid is in Pregnacare Conception Max?
The recommended two-tablet daily serving provides 400µg folic acid as calcium L-methylfolate. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and has a role in cell division. Supplemental folic acid intake also increases maternal folate status. Women who have been prescribed a higher dose of folic acid should continue to follow their healthcare professional's instructions.
5. What is L-methylfolate in Pregnacare Conception Max?
L-methylfolate is the form used to provide the product's 400µg daily folic acid amount. The current ingredient declaration specifies calcium L-methylfolate. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal blood formation and the process of cell division. The presence of L-methylfolate should not be used to imply that a higher intake than recommended is necessary.
6. Does Pregnacare Conception Max contain omega-3?
Yes. Each daily omega-3 capsule provides 600mg fish oil, including 300mg DHA and 60mg EPA. The capsule contains fish oil and has a pharmaceutical-grade halal bovine gelatin shell, so Pregnacare Conception Max is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. People taking anticoagulant medication should consult their doctor before use.
7. How do I take Pregnacare Conception Max?
Take two Pregnacare Conception Max tablets plus one omega-3 capsule each day with your main meal. Swallow them with water or a cold drink and do not chew them. They should be taken only on a full stomach. Do not exceed the recommended intake, and there is no need to take an additional multivitamin.
8. How long does Pregnacare Conception Max 84 Pack last?
The 84-count pack contains 56 advanced micronutrient tablets and 28 omega-3 capsules. With the recommended daily intake of two tablets plus one capsule, one pack provides 28 complete daily servings, equivalent to four weeks' supply.
9. Does Pregnacare Conception Max contain CoQ10 and inositol?
Yes. The daily two-tablet serving provides 50mg CoQ10 and 100mg inositol, as well as 75mg N-acetyl cysteine. These ingredients are included in the current formulation, but they do not have generally applicable authorised EU fertility health claims. For this reason, they should not be described as improving egg quality, ovulation, ovarian reserve or the chance of conception.
10. Can I continue Pregnacare Conception Max after becoming pregnant?
Vitabiotics states that once pregnancy is confirmed, you can finish the remaining Pregnacare Conception Max tablets and capsules before changing to a Pregnacare product formulated for use during pregnancy. Do not take two different Pregnacare multivitamins together unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.
11. Can Pregnacare Conception Max affect my menstrual cycle?
Vitabiotics notes that some users have reported a delayed or changed cycle, while stating that the product is a nutrient-based formula without drugs or hormones. A delayed period should not automatically be assumed to mean pregnancy. Take a pregnancy test where appropriate, and discuss persistent or significant changes in your menstrual cycle with your doctor.
12. What is the difference between Pregnacare Conception and Conception Max?
Pregnacare Conception is a once-daily tablet formulation, while Conception Max uses two micronutrient tablets plus a separate omega-3 capsule each day. Conception Max provides L-methylfolate and omega-3 DHA/EPA and has higher amounts of several ingredients, including vitamin B12, vitamin D, magnesium, CoQ10 and inositol, than the current standard Conception formula.
